Hey guys, I've used full metal jacket in the past, and have heard a lot of people say that they suspect that it is just floor wax. Has anybody actually used floor wax to treat traps? If so, how did it work? thanks.

I've been thinking of trying a concrete floor coating like used at Menards. Its hard, takes a hill of a beating and its waterproof. It ain't cheap but I am so I haven't tried it.

Ol Butcher used orange shellac on his traps.

40 years ago I used Future Acrylic Floor polish and it was tuff, did all my coon traps like that.

My floor wax mop was about 12 years old, the galvanized wire that keeps it together just corroded through, I tried floor wax one time, a badger dug it up in wy, then a coyote left prints in the dirt, I would not ever use it on a trap, Spartan wax and stuff is good quality
